ZIMENE kodi mantha awa agwira Mpingo?
M'malemba anga Momwe Mungadziwire Kuti Chilango Chili Pafupi, zili ngati Thupi la Khristu, kapena magawo ena ake, ali opuwala poteteza choonadi, kuteteza moyo, kapena kuteteza osalakwa.
Tili ndi mantha. Kuopa kunyozedwa, kunyozedwa, kapena kupatulidwa kwa anzathu, abale, kapena kuofesi.
Mantha ndi matenda amsinkhu wathu. -Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, Marichi 21, 2009, Catholic News Agency
Odala muli inu pamene anthu adzada inu, nadzapatula inu, nadzatonza inu, nadzalitcha dzina lanu loipa chifukwa cha Mwana wa munthu. Kondwerani ndi kudumpha mosangalala tsiku limenelo! Onani, mphotho yanu idzakhala yaikulu Kumwamba. ( Luka 6:22 )
Palibe kudumpha momwe ndingadziwire, kupatula mwina akhristu kulumpha kuchoka pa mkangano uliwonse. Kodi tataya kawonedwe kathu ka tanthauzo la kukhala wotsatira wa Yesu Khristu, ozunzidwa Mmodzi?
KUTAYEKA MAONEdwe
Monga Khristu anapereka moyo wake chifukwa cha ife, ifenso tiyenera kupereka moyo wathu chifukwa cha abale athu. (1 John 3: 16)
Ili ndilo tanthauzo la “Mkristu”, pakuti monga wotsatira wa Yesu amatenga dzina la “Khristu” moyo wakenso uyenera kukhala wotsanzira wa Mbuye.
Palibe kapolo amene ali wamkulu kuposa mbuye wake. ( Yohane 15:20 )
Yesu sanabwere kudziko lapansi kuti adzakhale wabwino, anadza pa dziko lapansi kudzatimasula ku uchimo. Kodi zimenezi zinatheka bwanji? Kupyolera mu kuzunzika kwake, imfa yake, ndi kuukitsidwa kwake. Nanga inu ndi ine monga antchito anzake mu Ufumu tidzabweretsa bwanji miyoyo kuphwando lakumwamba?
Iye amene afuna kudza pambuyo panga adzikane yekha, nanyamule mtanda wake, nanditsate Ine. Pakuti aliyense wofuna kupulumutsa moyo wake adzautaya, koma aliyense wotaya moyo wake chifukwa cha ine ndi uthenga wabwino adzaupulumutsa. ( Marko 34-35 )
Tiyenera kutenga njira yofanana ndi ya Khristu; ifenso tiyenera kumva zowawa chifukwa cha mbale wathu;
Nyamuliranani zothodwetsa, ndipo kotero mudzakwaniritsa chilamulo cha Khristu. ( Agalatiya 6:2 )
Monga Yesu anatinyamulira Mtanda, ifenso tiyenera kunyamula mazunzo a dziko lapansi kukonda. Ulendo wachikhristu ndi umodzi womwe umayambira pa malo obatizira… ndikudutsa ku Gologota. Monga mbali ya Kristu inakhetsa mwazi kuti tipulumutsidwe, tiyenera kudzikhuthula tokha chifukwa cha ena. Zimenezi n’zopweteka, makamaka ngati anthu akakana chikondi chimenechi, amaona kuti ubwino ndi woipa, kapena zimene timalengeza zimaonedwa kuti n’zabodza. Izi zili choncho, anali Choonadi amene anapachikidwa.
Koma mungaganize kuti Chikhristu ndi chanzeru, uku sikumathera kwa nkhaniyi!
… ndife ana a Mulungu, ndipo ngati ana, ndiye olowa nyumba, olowa nyumba a Mulungu, olowa nyumba anzake a Kristu, ngati timva zowawa pamodzi naye, kuti tikalemekezedwenso pamodzi ndi Iye. ( Aroma 8:16-17 )
Koma tiyeni tikhale owona mtima. Ndani amakonda kuvutika? Ndikukumbukira mlembi wachikatolika Ralph Martin ananenapo pa msonkhano kuti, “Sindiopa kufera chikhulupiriro; kufera zomwe zimandifika kwa ine… ukudziwa, akakutulutsa zikhadabo chimodzi chimodzi.” Tonse tinaseka.
Zikomo Mulungu, ndiye, izo Yesu mwiniyo ankadziwa mantha, kuti ngakhale m’menemo, timutsanzire.
MULUNGU ANALI MANTHA
Pamene Yesu analowa m’munda wa Getsemane atayamba Zowawa Zake, Marko Woyera analemba kuti “anayamba kuvutika maganizo kwambiri( 14:33 ) Yesupodziwa zonse zimene zikanadzachitika kwa iye” (Yohane 18:4) anadzazidwa ndi mantha a kuzunzika mu umunthu wake.
Koma nayi mphindi yotsimikizika, ndipo mkati mwake mwakwiriridwa chisomo chachinsinsi cha kufera chikhulupiriro (kaya ndi "choyera" kapena "chofiira"):
… atagwada pansi, anapemphera kuti: “Atate, ngati mulola, chotsani chikho ichi pa Ine; koma osati chifuniro changa, koma chanu chichitike.” ( Luka 22:42-43 ) Anamuonekera mngelo wochokera kumwamba kuti amulimbikitse. )
Trust.
Taonani zimene zikuchitika pamene Yesu akuloŵa m’zozama izi kudalira za Atate, podziwa kuti mphatso Yake ya chikondi kwa ena idzabwezedwa ndi chizunzo, mazunzo, ndi imfa. Yang'anani, pamene Yesu akunena zochepa kapena osanenapo nkomwe—ndikuyamba kugonjetsa miyoyo, imodzi ndi imodzi:
- Pambuyo polimbikitsidwa ndi mngelo (kumbukirani izi), Yesu akudzutsa ophunzira ake kukonzekera mayesero. Iye ndi amene adzazunzike, komabe Iye amawadera nkhawa.
- Yesu anatambasula dzanja lake ndi kuchiritsa khutu la msilikali amene anali pamenepo kuti amugwire.
- Pilato, mosonkhezeredwa ndi kukhala chete kwa Kristu ndi kukhalapo kwake kwamphamvu, akukhutiritsidwa kuti Iye ndi wosalakwa.
- Kuona Kristu, atanyamula chikondi pamsana pake, kumachititsa akazi a ku Yerusalemu kulira.
- Simoni waku Kurene ananyamula mtanda wa Khristu. Chokumana nachocho chiyenera kuti chinam’khudza mtima, chifukwa malinga ndi mwambo wa mwambo, ana ake aamuna anakhala amishonale.
- Mmodzi mwa achifwamba amene anapachikidwa pamodzi ndi Yesu anakhudzidwa mtima kwambiri ndi kupirira kwake moleza mtima, moti anatembenuka nthawi yomweyo.
- Kenturiyo, yemwe ankayang'anira kupachikidwa pa mtanda, adatembenukanso pamene adawona chikondi chikutsanulidwa kuchokera ku mabala a Mulungu-Munthu.
Kodi ndi umboni wina wotani womwe mukufunikira kuti chikondi chimagonjetsa mantha?
CHISOMO CHIDZAKHALAPO
Bwererani ku Munda, ndipo kumeneko mukawona mphatso—osati kwambiri ya Khristu, koma ya inu ndi ine:
Ndipo mngelo wochokera kumwamba adawonekera kwa iye kuti amulimbikitse. ( Luka 22:42-43 )
Kodi Malemba salonjeza kuti sitidzayesedwa koposa mphamvu zathu (1 Akorinto 10:13)? Kodi Khristu ayenera kutithandiza kokha m'mayesero aumwini, koma nkudzatisiya pamene mimbulu isonkhana? Tiyeni timvenso mphamvu yonse ya lonjezo la Yehova:
Ine ndiri pamodzi ndi inu masiku onse, kufikira chimaliziro cha nthawi ya pansi pano. ( Mateyu 28:20 )
Kodi mukuchitabe mantha kuteteza ana osabadwa, ukwati, ndi osalakwa?
Kodi chidzatilekanitsa ndi chiyani ndi chikondi cha Khristu? Nsautso kodi, kapena kupsinjika mtima, kapena kuzunza, kapena njala, kapena usiwa, kapena zowopsa, kapena lupanga kodi? ( Aroma 8:35 )
Kenako yang'anani kwa ofera a Mpingo. Tili ndi nkhani pambuyo pa nkhani yaulemerero ya amuna ndi akazi omwe anapita ku imfa nthawi zambiri ndi mtendere wauzimu, ndipo nthawi zina chisangalalo monga umboni wa owonerera. St. Stephen, St. Cyprian, St. Bibiana, St. Thomas More, St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Polycarp
, ndi ena ambiri omwe sitinawamvepo… onsewa ndi mapangano a lonjezo la Khristu kuti adzakhala nafe mpaka mpweya wathu womaliza.
Grace anali pamenepo. Iye sanachoke. Iye sadzatero.
M'MANTHABE?
Kodi mantha amenewa ndi otani amene amasandutsa akuluakulu kukhala mbewa? Kodi ndikuwopseza kwa "makhothi omenyera ufulu wa anthu?"
Ayi, m’zinthu zonsezi ndife ogonjetsa + mwa iye amene anatikonda. ( Aroma 8:37 )
Kodi mukuopa kuti ambiri sakhalanso kumbali yanu?
Musaope, kapena kutaya mtima pakuwona khamu lalikululi; pakuti nkhondoyi si yanu, koma ya Mulungu. ( 2 Mbiri 20:15 )
Kodi ndi achibale, abwenzi, kapena ogwira nawo ntchito omwe akuwopseza?
Musaope kapena kutaya mtima. Mawa tuluka kukakumana nawo, ndipo Yehova adzakhala nawe. (Ibid. v17)
Kodi ndi mdierekezi mwiniyo?
Ngati Mulungu ali ndi ife, adzatikaniza ndani? ( Aroma 8:31 )
Mukuyesera kuteteza chiyani?
Aliyense wokonda moyo wake adzautaya, ndipo aliyense wodana ndi moyo wake mdziko lino lapansi adzausungira ku moyo wosatha. (Yohane 12:25)
MANGO CHIUNO CHANU
Wokondedwa Mkhristu, mantha athu ali opanda maziko, ndipo amazikidwa pa kudzikonda tokha.
Mulibe mantha mchikondi, koma chikondi changwiro chimathamangitsa mantha chifukwa mantha amakhala ndi chilango, choncho amene amaopa sanakhale wangwiro mchikondi. (1 Yohane 4:18)
Tiyenera kuvomereza kuti sitiri angwiro (Mulungu akudziwa kale), ndipo tigwiritse ntchito ngati nthawi yokulitsa chikondi chake. Samatipewa chifukwa chakuti ndife opanda ungwiro ndipo safuna kuti tikhale olimba mtima amene amangofuna kuchita zinthu zinazake. Njira yakukulira mu chikondi ichi chomwe chimachotsa mantha onse ndikudzikhuthula nokha monga momwe adachitira kuti mudzazidwe ndi Mulungu, amene. is chikondi.
Anadzikhuthula yekha, natenga maonekedwe a kapolo, nadza m’mafanizidwe a munthu; ndipo anapeza maonekedwe a munthu, anadzichepetsa yekha, nakhala womvera kufikira imfa, ndiyo imfa ya pamtanda. ( Afilipi 2:7-8 )
Pali mbali ziwiri za mtanda wa Khristu—mbali imodzi imene Mpulumutsi wako wapachikidwa—ndipo ina ndi yanu. Koma ngati Iye anaukitsidwa kwa akufa, kodi inunso simukhala nawo m’kuuka kwake?

Aliyense wonditumikira Ine ayenera kunditsata, ndipo kumene kuli Ine, komwekonso kudzakhala mtumiki wanga. (Juwau 12:26)
Lolani milomo ya wofera chikhulupiriro iyambe kuwomba mkati mwanu kulimba mtima koyera -kulimbika mtima kupereka moyo wako chifukwa cha Yesu.
Munthu asaganize za imfa, koma za moyo wosakhoza kufa; munthu asaganize za zowawa za kanthawi, koma ulemerero wosatha. Kwalembedwa: Imfa ya oyera mtima ndi yamtengo wapatali pamaso pa Mulungu. Malemba Opatulika amalankhulanso za mazunzo amene amapatulira ofera chikhulupiriro a Mulungu ndi kuwayeretsa mwa kuyesa kowawa kumene: Ngakhale kuti pamaso pa anthu anazunzika, chiyembekezo chawo n’chodzaza ndi moyo wosafa. Adzaweruza amitundu, nadzalamulira anthu, ndipo Yehova adzakhala mfumu yawo kosatha. Cifukwa cace pokumbukira kuti mudzakhala oweruza ndi olamulira pamodzi ndi Kristu Ambuye, kondwerani, ndi kupeputsa mazunzo omwe alipo, chifukwa cha chisangalalo chimene chilinkudza. —St. Cyprian, bishopu komanso wofera chikhulupiriro
